	While both products offer both advantages and disadvantages, for a
business that needs a reliable and mature product, Xenix beats Microport
hands down.  Read the comparative reviews in both UNIX/WORLD and Unique
(I don't remember which issues).  I have Xenix running for about 17 months
now and have had NO problems.
